Prayer is to be Based on our Faith in God

  What is the one thing followers of Christ can do, no matter where they are in the world? Pray!  Our faith is dependent on the living God of the Bible.   How can this unity of believers in prayer be applied today as the world is against Christians in many countries? Pray!  Our prayer […]

For the Sake of Faith in Christ Jesus

  Peter and John were arrested for healing a man and preaching the resurrection of Jesus Christ (Acts 3:1-9; 4:1-2).  They were imprisoned overnight, questioned the next day, and released.  Then they went to other believers and reported everything the chief priests and the elders said to them…including the fact they were “not to speak […]

Valid, Viable, Verifiable Faith

  You and I have a choice, just as Peter and John had a choice: to listen to God and believe Him enough to obey His words and please Him. Or listen to men and follow their rules to please them. (NASB) Acts 4:19-20 “But Peter and John answered and said to them (Council of […]

The Chief Cornerstone ~ Jesus Christ

Surrounded – by Accusers

  Peter and John were arrested late in the day, held in jail overnight and then questioned the next day. (NASB) Acts 4:5 “On the next day, their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem;6 and Annas the high priest was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander and all who were […]

Arrested for Preaching About Jesus

  Peter and John told a large crowd in Jerusalem about Jesus.  Jesus died by crucifixion, was buried and then raised to life by God.    Priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees were greatly disturbed!  Jesus – He died, they were there and they knew He died!  Yet these men, Peter […]
